I'll start off by saying I tested posted for HPV in 2017, I also went from a CIN 2 down to a CIN 1 at the beginning of 2019...since then, I have been too traumatized to go back because of the biopsies. The anxiety I have because of this is ridiculous and I cant help but feel silly, but I truly am scared...from waiting to get the biopsy done, to actually getting it then waiting for the results, I really struggle with coping with this. Anyways...since my last diagnosis was a CIN1, I decided to not go back to get another biopsy in hopes that my situation would clear up, as HPV tends to do on it's own. Here lately though, I've had strange symptoms and because I am so scared to go back to OBGYN, I feel trapped, helpless. Google has been my best friend but worst enemy. My periods last close to 13 days now, they are light for the most part but get the occasional clotting. It has a weird smell, like an infection or fishy. The color of it even bothers me, it's more like a burgundy than it is a red. When I'm not on my period, my vaginal discharge also smells fishy no matter how much I clean myself throughout the day, even while I have sex, there will be a faint fishy smell and it's so embarrassing. Just a couple days ago, I've noticed 3 sores on the inner part of my vagina. I blamed it on rough sex, but after getting to looking and feeling them, I'm getting worried its herpes or something else. I'm truly tired of worrying. I'm truly tired of being afraid to just go get checked out and fixed up if anything is even wrong. I just want to be better. I'm constantly battling in my head. I even went as far as to look up at home STD testing and even at home treatment, but treatment requires doctor approval, prescriptions and you just cant trust the internet for all of that. So sorry for rambling, but it's all so much and I dont know what else to or who to talk to except for the obvious solutions. Thanks in advance image

    Its kinda hard to tell if those are herpes sores. Did they appear as blisters first? Also I understand how anxious you feel about all these issues because I get a lot of anxiety as well. But sometimes you gotta be a big girl and just see a professional to get the help you need. Everyone has sex and these are common issues that people come across they just don't speak openly about it. Either way we have a medical system that can help manage what you're going through and its BETTER to get treatment early on. For example, chlamydia can cause infertility if not treated early and all it takes is a pill. Go to an urgent care or see a doctor because ruminating over these things is probably much worse than what is actually happening hun. You got this!
